BLAH BLAH Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Further information: Rare black faced Sansui AU Amp which was in production I think for only around 6 months... I preferred the sweeter sound of the 819 over the 919 model and plus the 819 has the additional 'magical' loudness switch installed... 240 VOLT...Excellent condition...NLR because I have dipped the toe into Valve Amps.... Kept in a smoke free environment...has very faint marks on the right hand side see pics... No greasy fingerprint marks/stains on the black face-plate...very pristine...condition is everything with these Sansui... Prefer local pick-up as to avoid the double boxing hassle/expense and problematic delivery by post/courier... https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/sansui/au-819.shtml Classic Hi-Fi 6 1
BATMAQN Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Very nice example looks to be in lovely condition. Any servicing done?

Luc Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Rare and very desirable. Just ask Pete Mac and @skippy124 (yeah I know Pete's dad doesn't get here much but ...) AU-117, AU-217, AU-317, AU-417, AU-517, AU-519, AU-710, AU-717, AU-719, AU-819, and AU-919 they all pop up occasionally but this one the 819 I reckon is the rarest of the rare, a bit like the Au-6900 but rarer. Sellers got absolute rocks in his head and usually I'd advise a Bex and a good lay down but he seems determined to sell something he'll never have again(I've been down that track). I remember when he gushingly informed the Sansui lovers here that he had procured an 819...bastard! I thought , but then good onya. Can't believe your selling it. Can't comment on price but I'm guessing it's a pretty generous ask. Go look at Hi-Fi shark and rover eBay and see if you can find a recent sale of one, you'll be lucky. GLWTS 2 1

GLWTS Agreed 100% re: the rarity... the 819 is the only model that we don’t have in the collection thus far. She’s a very special amp!
Odyssey Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Agree it's a special Sansui. If I hadn't bought a Kenwood KA 3300D, I would have gone for this.
